    Abstract

    We propose a systematically performed ultrasonographic screening of the infant's hip in Switzerland. This demand is based on shorter treatment of dysplastic or dislocated hips, if the diagnosis is established before the age of three months. In addition, the costs of treatment are remarkably reduced if treatment can begin at an early age. In order to avoid late surgery causing high costs, an early treatment of the dysplastic hip is indispensable.
